Have you ever had a custom home built, only to find that it didn’t turn out quite like you expected? These days, it’s difficult to know who is accountable for what; as a homeowner, you might have bought the house with the expectation that the builder would get it done right the first time. The problem is that there’s usually more to the process than that. Builders and construction workers assemble houses in a mass production fashion, with more attention to fundamental aspects of the house than aesthetic. So, while you expect everything to be finished on time and with no mistakes, you’ll find that the adage about wishing in one hand is pretty apropos to the reality of home building.
In this free quality assurance home inspection video series, learn how to do a walkthrough on your home and make sure you have all of your complaints addressed and taken care of before you take possession of the house and move-in. This is an extremely important part of the home building process, as once you’re living in the home, any issues you have are now your own. If you didn’t say something to your builder about that chipped paint around the doorway and the broken light fixture by the garage, you’ll be spending precious weekend time learning how to do it yourself.
